Material Types

The Sewer module provides you with a modeling program for sewer rehabilitation.  This program centers around the model runs. Several setup modules are provided to help you configure your model runs.  Here, you can indicate the type of materials used in the pipe wall and assign a classification to that material. The system will use the settings here to select pipes for rehabilitation and help determine rehab costs.  For more information on the model runs, please reference the Sewer Rehab Model help guide.

To access the Material Types module, select Sewer > Sewer Rehab > Rehab Setup > Pipe Rehab Setup > Material Types and the following window will appear. 

1. The Material pick list comes from the Pipe Inventory module. You'll use this list to indicate if the pipe wall material is VCP, Concrete, Tile, Brick, CIP, etc.
2. Use the Material Assignment field to indicate if the pipe material is Rigid, Flexible, Brittle, or Unassigned. A selection of Unassigned will force the system to assume the highest possible cost.
